Topic: Creating a Legacy from Family Papers and Genealogy

Many of us share a pressing concern: we possess family documents, artifacts, and oral histories, but have no idea what to do with them. This session examines formats, ideas, organizational tips, and inspiration to ensure the stories of our ancestors, and of our own life stories, are not lost.

Presenter: Claire Gebben is the author of the historical novel The Last of the Blacksmiths   (Coffeetown Press, 2014) based on the true story of her German immigrant ancestors. Her family memoir about writing family history, How We Survive Here: Families Across Time is due for release in November of 2018. Her articles on black smithing, German Separatists, immigration and genealogy have appeared in German Life, Family Chronicle, and other publications. More info
